For some reason we decided the big Georgia hills were not enough of a challenge for us and took our bikes up to the Smoky Mountains and rode all weekend. We went through this area called Cades Cove that was just unbelieveable praire land right in the middle of the mountains. You would be in heaven there, it was just so peaceful and tons of wildlife. <br /><br />We certainly do enjoy reading your blog and can't wait for your journey to begin and read all about it.<br />JulieJulie Duwelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523626104607479489.post-37857122722394642312010-05-25T17:50:21.332-04:002010-05-25T17:50:21.332-04:00Deb,

I did it!<br /><br />Best feeling in the world!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898928150200671599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523626104607479489.post-29139723555530592312010-05-25T16:30:17.598-04:002010-05-25T16:30:17.598-04:00Hi. I got your link from the Beaver Creek Wetlands...Hi. I got your link from the Beaver Creek Wetlands Facebook page.<br /><br />I completely empathize. I ride a lot (not ready for 50 states in 50 days) and have reached the middle ground of being too slow for those with the light bikes and high pressure tires but too fast and able to do more miles than my family or others casual riders.<br /><br />So I ride alone in order to meet my own goals which are modest but respectable. I hope to get in at least 1000 miles this year including one (maybe two) half-century rides.<br /><br />Even though I ride several times a week including destination rides, some days it is hard to get out the door. That is one of the issues about a half-century; what if I get stranded overnight because I can't reach somebody to pick me up?<br /><br />Probably too much thinking; maybe I should just pedal.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834029909046193413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523626104607479489.post-12624326286846316592010-05-25T15:44:13.248-04:002010-05-25T15:44:13.248-04:00not YOUR Prius, KC.
